Abstract Objective: To establish human primary gallbladder cancer cell line SGC-996 and observe its cytobiological characteristics. Methods: The gallbladder cancer cells were isolated from the primary mastoid adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder obtained from a 61 year-old female patient. The cancer cells were cultured in Eagle and RPMI 1640 media with fetal bovine serum. Results: This cell line could grow steadily in RPMI1640 with 10% fetal bovine serum and proliferate rapidly. The cells were epithelial-like and had large nuclei with one or more nucleoli. The cells could form multi- layered colonies. Doubling time of cell proliferation was about 48 h. Mitotic index was high. Chromosome frequency distribution belonged to hypotriploidy. All athymic rude mice could form the transplant tumors in the test of subcutaneous inoculation. A plentiful of microvilli and fewer cell junctions such as desmosomes were observed by transmission electron microscopy. Virus granule, mycoplasma and bacteria were negative. Conclusions: SGC-996 cells accorded with the general characteristics of the cell line in vitro.
